Beat rangers on Tuesday and the league is all but over with the massive gulf (+15) in goal difference and only 2 games remaining.
A draw would be good enough 👍

[Tambo]

Really surprised no one has come in for him especially after Landers left to join West Ham.

Could be way off the mark here and maybe he's been told he will get a chance next season.

[Tambo]

Huge game tomorrow away to Rangers 16:00 kick off, could then be crowned champions Friday away to Kilmarnock 18:30.

[scoopyboy]

4pm kick off today away to Rangers but could be struggling for updates as in their wisdom they are not allowing supporters in.

If anyone has access to the latest score could they be so good as to post on here.

Thanks in advance

[andrew70]

Probably so the referee can do whatever he likes.

[Tambo]

Still waiting for a halftime update on Rangers academy twitter.

Hopefully means they're getting pumped.

That’s my school of thought

0-0 halftime.

[Hibernian Verse]

0-0 halftime.

That'll be a no then :greengrin

[scoopyboy]

0-0 halftime.

Where did you see that?

A draw would be a decent result.

[scoopyboy]

At 5.16pm they’ve reported that Rangers have made a substitution so I assume it was still 0-0 at that point

[scoopyboy]

Hibs are 1-0 up💚💚💚

[Tambo]

Hibs are 1-0 up💚💚💚

Get in there!

[GordonHFC]

Still the 110th minute penalty to come.

[scoopyboy]

2-0 now. I reckon full time somewhere between 17.50 and 17.55

[Tambo]

2-0 now. I reckon full time somewhere between 17.50 and 17.55

Absolutely brilliant result, league could be in the bag officially Friday.

[hhibs]

C'mon lads!!:flag::flag::flag:

[foxy]

0-3 now Clelland with his 2nd {90+2}

McDonald with the other

[scoopyboy]

3-0 Hibs

[Tambo]

Congratulations on a huge win boys, get it wrapped up on Friday then you can have some fun last game of the season.

Looking like the young lads following the men into Europe next season, over to you now ladies.

[scoopyboy]

3-0 full time.

Six points clear with two games each to go, our goal difference is +56 to their +35.

We’ve broken them.

Champions 💚💚💚

[BS44]

There's going to be some amount of Edinburgh teams playing European football next season.

All clad in Hibs tops, no bloodied turd gear to be seen anywhere bar the League Cup groups.

[hhibs]

Fantastic achievement for the lads,the future is bright,the future is green and white.

All the more thrilling for the team to be playing once again in Europe. as Champions of Scotland in our 150 Year celebrations !!!!

Love a 3-0 away win against Rangers.

Well done lads :flag:

[Garymcl]

Can’t make Friday at killie but would love to along to last game of season I take it would at home at HTC does anyone know date and time of ko for last game cheers in advance what a brilliant bunch of youngsters we have so proud :thumbsup::flag:

[JimBHibees]

Fantastic achievement for the young lads and coaches. Says a lot how well the club seems to be run at the moment how all teams seem to be doing. :flag:

[J-C]

Big ups to Daz and Boozy and the work they're both doing with the young team.

[Paul1642]

Brilliant for all involved. Always nice to see our youth team doing well.

[HIBS NUTS]

I’ve watched them all season, and they have gradually improved throughout, I’m absolutely delighted they won today, well done all the team and coaches.
Special mention to Dean Cleland who has been unbelievable.

Yep, your updates have been great all season, also mention for Moe and foxy with the update of the table.

Coaching staff deserve credit also and an exciting time for next year for some of the younger ones.

It's been great watching them C, they always had a look of potential champions about them. Apart from being technically gifted they also work so hard when not on the ball. Well done players and coaches and middle finger to sevco.

Are there any players in this side that you could see making the grade in our 1st team?

[Greenbeard]

Under 16 teams being scrapped by order of the SFA? Anyone heard this or know more than my third hand info which I can't guarantee is reliable.

Very talented bunch
Mallen is a very good goalkeeper
rory Whittaker obviously a good right back
Jamie McMurdo great dribbler and very talented
Jimenez who has replaced landers, looks a better player.
Dean Cleland, always in the right place, never stops running, quick feet.
I actually can’t think of weakness in the team, fantastic that they are all eligible, for CL football next season, only problem is they then can’t go on loan.
The staff at HTC will know if they can make the step up, but it’s going to hard for any player to break into a squad, that potentially might play in europa group stages.

Glad to see Rory still doing well, we could see he had potential and done well sometimes but clearly wasn't ready for regular first team football, still very young.

Great to hear there are so many that look like they could potentially go on.


In regards to breaking into the squad, maybe all the extra matches for the first team will give opportunities for some of them to get some minutes here and there

[big-mo]

Under 16 teams being scrapped by order of the SFA? Anyone heard this or know more than my third hand info which I can't guarantee is reliable.

The under 16s will become the under 17s next season and the u18s continue as the U19s. This is a positive move as it means the lads stay together for another season.

There will be at least one change in the CAS Elite League next season, other than it becoming the Under 19s, it will be down to just 10 teams with Quenns Park no longer having a full academy set-up, they will still have U17s U19s, but nothing else, this means they drop down to the same level and league as teams like Bonnyrigg.

(if anyone is interested in how the CAS setup works, just let me know and I will explain it)

Friday 16th at HTC against Aberdeen - the last game against them earlier this season kicked off at 14:00 but Hibs should confirm that early next week.

Not 2pm, it is a 6pm kick off. All welcome to attend.

This Friday’s game against Killie is at Aryshire College, Kilmarnock Campus with a 18:30 k/o, they are not playing at Rugby Park because the first team are playing on the Saturday, not sure difference that make when it is a 3G pitch.
Rangers kick off against Aberdeen at Cormack Park at 4pm, so Hibs could be confirmed Champions before they take the field on Friday.

Young team off to France again for a tournament in a few weeks.

Rangers currently 2-0 up.

Expect the lads to clinch it later in style with a few goals.

At the start of the season, I watched a 2-2 draw at HTC with rangers, rangers were much the better team, by the end of the season, hibs have been by miles the best team in the league.
A bit like the main teams season.👍

[KdyHby]

KO delayed until 1845

He can’t be far off 50 goals this season, which is a ridiculous amount at any level of football really. I’d love to see him get a shot at the first team soon as although I appreciate it is a huge jump, he surely has a natural eye for goal.

For reference, have the young team played any game this season against adult opposition, and if yes how did they get on, Clelland in particular?

[McD]

and the 4th



Would be great to see him get a first team debut before the end of the season. I know things are tight for finishing third, but what a brilliant way to reward the lad for his performances across the season

lThey played Albion rovers senior team in the Scottish challenge cup, 3-3 beat on penalties, they are a very different team now, that was 9 months ago.
think that’s the only time

Congratulations on winning the league, very well deserved and good luck for next season.

I did enjoy our run last time out in the youth champions league.

They played against Albion Rovers in teh Challenge Cup and were unlucky to lose on pens. They would likely beat them now as they have improved since then

Would assume so, think we will end the season in style with a 4-0 win! Cleland to score a hat-trick.

[big-mo]

KO 6pm free entry at HTC on a beautiful sunny Friday night.

They will get a guard of honour from the Dons team and will be presented with the trophy.
Deano will be keen to get his 40th competitive goal and his 50th in all games for the season.

As has been said, it is free and on a lovely sunny evening, hope there will be a good turnout. Also my U18s programmes will be on sale again, but this issue will be £1 rather than the normal 50p, eight pages, including some photos from the season and all the European dates the lads will be looking out for.

Hope to see you down there. I am also lead to believe that the lads will be parading the trophy at tomorrow’s game, nice seeing who the opposition will be.

You could have put a boiled egg in the cup.

I think AIKEN was on crutches, at the last game, he’s had a terrible time with injuries , good luck to him, he’s a cracking player.
